Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Darla, In your post you mentioned that you " squirt " the meds in her cheeck pocket. Do you think she would be able to tolerate small squirts in her throat? The taste of yucky medicine, is not as severe if you by pass the tongue. We used a small syringe (1ml?)and would squirt the med in the way back of Lily's throat. She was on enough carnitine that we used that as the thinner for most of the others. We'd cut open the gel cap of CoQ or whatever other yucky there was, into the syringe, put the plunger in with your finger covering the bottom of the syringe. Slowly push down, then suck up the good tasting carnitine. Then shake it up.We of course were constantly experimenting with better ways to deliver the " whole of it " . Seems it was never good and all were glad when it was over. Until a few hours later when we would do it again. My those were trying times- 3 xs a day (40+ doses/day). I was every thankful that Lily was as happy as she was and we could easily re- direct her from her pitching her fit- with a bottle, a snuggle or a song. I hope you are able to find some relief- thinking of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
